MIST IT No

The seven Chicago anarchists must
hang. The state supreme court affirm
ed the finding of the trial court, and
fixed the date of execution for Friday,
November IL. 1t is announced that
the counsel for the anarchists will en-
deavor to get their case before the Uni
ted States supreme court, and, failing
in this, a strong effort will be made to
get Gov. Oglesby to interpose a commu-
tation Of the death penalty to impris-
onmeGt in the penitentiary. The gem
eral opinion now Is that all efforts to
save these condemned men from a de-
served fate will be futile, and that they
will be duly executed. Certain it is
that they should be. Noblacker heart
ed villains were ever tried for murder.
No more hellish design was ever con-
cocted than was their naymarket plan
of destruction. Not daring to openly
assault the sworn officers of the law.
they sought the cover of darkness and
the assembling of large number of in
nocent people to carry out their plot.
They did not even care who was hurt
by their bombs and dynamite, and reek-
lessly engaged in slaughter that was
terrible, unwarlike and cOwardly.
And yet there are people claiming to
be respectable and law-abiding, who
defend the red-handed anarchists, and
say they should not be punished. There
were men in Barber county, last year,
who said these devils were justiliable
in asSaulting the police.
We have no sympathy with assassinS:
we hate traitors; we detest those who
would overthrow law and order; and we
say hang any man who takes the life
of an officer while in the discharge of
his duties.

MAxIMILIANAC COWARD.

A great sensation has been Created in
the City of Mexico by the publication
of a report which Gen. Escobedo, to
whom Macmillan surrendered, has
placed in the hands of the government.
The report says that, in the hope of
saving his life, Macmillan betrayed
his army and the city of Queretaro, in
which his forces were beseiged, into the
hands of the republicans. Here is an
extract:
"Gen. Esccbedo was one day notified
that one of Maximilian's officers desired
an interview with him. Escobedo in
stantly granted the interview, and Col.
Miguel Lopez was introduced. Lopez
said he was commissioned by Maximil-
ian to offer TO deliver the garrison to
Escobedo on condition that the latter
should allow Macmillan and his officers
to depart unmOleSted; that Macmillan
had already signed his abdication, and
that he would go straight to Vera Cruz
or Tuxpan, where ship would be in
readiness to take him on board; and
that he would engage himself, on his
word of honor, never again to NEEDLE
in the affairs of Mexico.
Ucl. EaSCOOCOO ICpliCu NlidL Dc COulu
make 10 such terms. Finally Lopez de-
clared that he was authorized to make
such terms with EscObedo as he could
and in the name of his chief he inform
ed EscObedo that the republican army
might occupy the convent of La Cruz,
which commanded the city. on the fol-
lowing morning, without encountering
resistance"
The convent was accordingly occu-
pied, and Macmillan was soon after a
prisoner.
Later, the fallen emperor tried to in
duce Gen. Escobedo to keep the man
ner in which the surrender was made a
profound secret. lie said he foreSaw
his own end, and now his only care was
to prevent any stain from lighting on
the iliustrious house of Hapsburg, OF
which he was scion, and that if Es-
cObedO could not make an unconditiOn-
al promise, he entreated that he would
not reveal the truth until after the
death of Empress Carlotta. EscobedC
made the promise ON condition that he
should consider himself released there
from if at any time it seemed impera.
tive for him to speak.
EScObedO now makes the revelations
to vindicate Lopez, whom the clerical
party has been accusing of betraying
the emperor.

AMENI

Great Bend Democrat: "Rumors of
trouble in the United States land Office
at Larned have been flying in the air
for some time. But the nature of the
difficulty has been mystery to most
people. The Democrat has refrained
from saying anything about it until
the present moment, because the whole
thing was so vague that it was impos-
sible to say Just what was going on, or
against whom the fight was directed.
But the curtain has raised and now the
rest of the play Will be for the delecta-
ton of the general public. To express
The whole matter briefly, it is sought to
remove the register of that office. The
charges brought against HIM are of Sc
rious Importance and, if sustained, he
viii have to 20. On the contrary, if
they are not sustained, the register
should be sustained. The Democrat
has not single word to say in this
matter. Last winter we thought the
Office did wrong In sending half the land
notices TO republican paper, and we
spoke right out in meeting and said So
But in regard to these charges we know
nothing. 1t seems to us that the prop
per course for the democrats OF this
land district to pursue is to take no
part in this matter at present. The
government has sent n competent man
to examine the whole matter, and he is
now engaged IN a full investigation.
Let us, as impartial jurors, wait until
the testimony is before US and then de-
eide in accordance Herewith. 1t is fol-
ly for Us to range ourselves on different
sides before the investigation and be-
gin a war among ourselves. Let us as
sumo, before the evidence is heard,
that the register has been an honest
and efficient officer. If the evidence
condemns him, let us rise as one man
and say, 80 mote q BE-" IL. OH the con-
tIary, the evidence exhonerates him,
he must not only be vindicated. but his
accusers must not be held guiltless
This Is the course the Democrat has
decided on for itself and we hope the
party viii endorse it,

SUGAR FROM SORGHIJU


Commissioner of Agriculture Cole
man has returned to Washington from
an official visit TO 1T. Scott, Kansas,
where the department IS conducting ex-
periments in making sugar from sor-
ghum by the diffusion process, and ex-
presses himself as delighted with the
results obtained. The new process is
called the diffusion or saturatiOn pro-
cess. The cane is cut into chips and
passed into battery Of twelve cells
each holding ton of chips. Hot water
Is then applied, which rapidly exhausts
the saccharine matter SO thoroughly
that there is scarcely trace OF il left.
The cells are entirely practical, being
speedily filed, manipulated and emp
tied, one man attending to the entire
operation. The process is as rapid as
the old method and less costly, and en-
ables the manufactures to secure and
utilize all the juice instead of about
half rs heretofore.
"The result OF these experiments up
ON the country will, l believe" said
the commissioner. be most beneficial.
Our nation is paying SlOO,OO0,OOO an
nually to the sugar producers of other
countries, and if we have demonstrated
that we can protitably produce sugar
on our own farms, it is matter of the
highest importance to the country. 1t
will not only keep this money at home,
but will save to our people annually So
100000 i'm custom duties.
The annual consumption of sugar
per capita is about forty pounds. Our
population is doubling every twenty
years. At the end of the next twenty
five years we will be paying at least
500, coo, 900 for sugar. This money we
can keep at home and distribute among
our own people. l look upon these ex-
periments rs important To this country
as the cotton gin. They have demon
strated that we have sugar plant that
eau be grown and converted profitably
into sugar south of the 80 parallel tout
of the reach Of early frosts) to the Gulf
Of Mexico, and that this country can
and will be independent of every other
nation for sugar"
